llurnra Curtina Friendbf, with a :mile-a charming word that gave a grace But Miss DeZouche, I wasn't here at the be- ginning of the year! Whom do we find be- hind this woeful statement as great armloads of books fall to the floor? None other than our senior new-comer, Aurora, or Yoya. Al- though she came after the beginning of the year, she quickly showed us what a great deal of liveliness and enthusiasm can do for you when you're in a new country and a new school. Yoya hails from Mexico, and you should see what's down there waiting for her! Strange as it seems, this talkative and vivacious addition to M.V.S. seldom mentions him. Maybe she's playing it safe, eh? Her own personal interests include swimming and dancing, and we hear she's quite pro at both . . . Could be that the competition runs high in a family of seven children! Yoya has been a bright example to all of us this year of our neighbors south of the border. Yellow teamg prep players, IV. Betty Jean Elements She walkr in beauty like the night 'Tm frum Bur-min-haam, where are you frum? She came all the way with just her Bill Mon- key, a gift from a very special someone, to keep her company through what turned out to be the gayest, most fun-making senior year ever! B. is the one that takes baths after lights, and is known for calling down her roommate for disturbing her with wee small knocks. She once lost several years' growth when the wee small knocks turned out to be from Aunt Dottie! Bill is obviously The Object of Her Affectionsf' and he seems to go in for stuffed animals for gifts. This fresh-air fiend almost blew her room- mate out this winter, but at last spring sprung! Seen dashing from her room when the strains of Too Young reach l1er ear, or heard moaning over French exams, B. has really proved to be a gay asset to boarding life this year!

Juan Carmichael Happy I am, from care I'mfree,' why can't they all he content like nze Well girls, I'm off to Georgetown! So starts and ends another day in the life of Miss Joan C. who can usually be found talking to, about, or with Georgetown. The thousands of blind dates she manages to get for our dances, her cheerful thoughtfulness, plus being one of our most enthusiastic class members, are just examples of why we couldn't manage without her. She's one from whom we could all take lessons on how to regret not the past, live in the present, and fear not the future. Another of those famed dieters so often found at Washington's Institution for Fat Children, her favorite expression is, tomorrow, I'1l diet! If all these tomorrows came, only the skinniest females would grace Foxhall's Female Abode. Altar plans are being made now for this summer. We all know she will make the institution of matrimony a gayer one by her membership!

The reason? The first voice one hears at 7:30 A.M. is none other than that of Miss Sunshine who has been up since the celestial body dawned. Should you hear a flow of German, Latin and or French, see bright blonde hair, or hear certain rahs for Yale, you have discovered this early bird. Also credited to her M.V.'s. record is her literary ability in the field of ballads. Most noted for her motto party makes the world go 'round, Miss Bush has enlivened many study hours with her antics, which have continued into the night. To this senior with the lovely earrings Cfor pierced ears, no less!!D we sayf You're all right, even if we are sleepy because of your ejaculations on nature at such an unearthly hour.

Mary Germaine Egan Lzfekr 4 pleasant in.rtitutian,' let ur take it as it comer Our staunch Marine advocate, the vivacious Miss Omaha, is most noted for her well-put remarks during study hall and her excellent taste in dress. We cannot help but mention her ever- lasting over-nights and the whispered intrigues which go on into Sunday night, giving details of the various top military men Miss Egan is fortunate enough to know. Let-us-all-do-our- bit-for-the-men-in-the-service ! ! How we envy her ability to whip together chic blouses and skirts! Oh, I just finished this sheath dress for Annapolis this weekend! If ever there was a loyal supporter of the re- nowned Betas, here is one whose name should go on as long as that society exists. Next to Betas comes the University of Nebraska. She agrees wholeheartedly with Mrs. Fullaway that her native Nebraska is the bestest with the most- est.

Sallie is most frequently seen at the Field House where she is the first to arrive and the last to leave during the blissful twenty-minute period extended to the smoky senior class of '52. Also, Sunday afternoons find this pro tennis player keeping the courts warm. She's been one of the White Team's big assets this year! On permissions, our lovely lady visits the Shore- ham with her cohorts, and 'tis rumored that the mortgage of said hotel may be transferred to the deVou family, At a big social gathering, look for a smoke ring and in its middle you're sure to find Sal Qunless she is roaming the campus with raised eyebrows and Bermuda shorts, wondering in which di- rection the Pittsburgh Pirates are ll.
